  • Page 8: Principle Of Operation

    VEGAPULS 42 is a radar sensor for non-contact, continuous level measurement of liquids. Functional principle The instrument emits a continuous, frequency-modulated radar signal through its antenna. The emitted signal is reflected by the medium and received by the antenna as an echo with modified frequency.

  • Page 11: Mounting

    The measuring range of the VEGAPULS 42 physically begins with the antenna end. However, the min./max. adjustment begins mathematically with the reference plane, which is located differently depending on the sensor version.

  • Page 12 In vessels with conical bottom it can be advantageous to mount the device in the centre of the vessel, as measurement is then possible down to the bottom. VEGAPULS 42 • Three-wire with IO-Link (2 x transistor or 4 … 20 mA plus 1 x transistor)
  • Page 13 Fig. 6: Thread mounting If the reflective properties of the medium are good, you can mount VEGAPULS 42 on sockets longer than the antenna. The socket end should be smooth and burr-free, if possible also rounded. VEGAPULS 42 • Three-wire with IO-Link (2 x transistor or 4 … 20 mA plus 1 x transistor)
